The head of the Kharkov OVA Sinegubov announced mandatory evacuation from Kupyansk
The authorities of the Kharkov region announced a mandatory evacuation from Kupyansk, this was stated by the head of the local regional military administration Oleg Sinegubov.
The official explained that it is impossible to ensure the heating season in the Ukrainian city.
The military situation is now deteriorating. We cannot ensure the heating season there, the provision of electricity, or the provision of humanitarian aid
He added that Russian troops have approached the Oskol River and can cross it in the near future.
A decision was also made to evacuate the Kondrashevskaya, Kurilovskaya and Petropavlovskaya communities and the Borovskaya community of the Izyumsky district. The head of the OBA emphasized that the evacuation of about 250 families living there would be carried out forcibly. About 4,000 people remain in Kupyansk, mostly pensioners. Sinegubov said that evacuation measures will be tightened because people are reluctant to leave.
